I’ve got to say, Wellbutrin in the morning of around 150mg and Prozac 50mg in the evenings has been a great blend for my anxiety and depression. I’m glad I found a psychiatrist on Talkspace and glad I gave it a try. I have found that Wellbutrin has helped me with focus as well.

That’s a huge dose! I’ve taken 20mg daily for 20 odd years. That much would mess with my subconscious big time. Watch out for Prozac dreams, that can really send you over the edge when you can’t tell where dreams end (nightmares, really) and reality begins.

I started on 20 but we moved to 40 and then 50mg. I haven’t had any side effects where I feel like it’s been awful so I’m happy there.

Wow, that's a huge dose indeed.

Was that necessary, @Chris30? W3H5 already said the exact same thing right above you.

Frankly, I don't think it is at all appropriate to be passing comment on what a medical professional has prescribed to an individual. It really doesn't matter what you think, and making comments like this could easily make someone feel bad or anxious about what they are taking, which is not the smartest thing to do when talking about anxiety medication!

In any case, it is not a huge dose at all - it is not even the maximum recommended daily dose here in the UK, so it's really a pointless remark.

Where did you guys get your medical degrees from again?

Normal Prozac dosage is 20-60mg but can go up to 80 if necessary. Far from a huge dose.

As TM said, if it was prescribed and isn't being abused, it's medically necessary. Just because 20 is good for one person doesn't mean 20 works for everyone.

Ok, I'm sorry. I won't do it anymore. Please try to cut me some slack. I'm doing the best I can to follow the rules and be polite to everyone here. If you want to, you can delete my post. I don't mind.
 
Believe me @Chris30, you have been cut more slack than almost everyone else on this site combined, so rather than repeatedly asking for that, you could take more responsibility for yourself and think more carefully about what you are posting.

You're right, like my mom said to me many times; I have to take accountability for my choices and actions here. I need to watch and think hard before making a post in a thread like this one. Thank you.
